Weighing in on strategic realignment
WPI’s team was retained by the governing board of a U.S. industry organization to review a decision, reached by vote, to invest significant assets into the development and management of an export trading company.

On behalf of numerous clients, WPI has not only assisted in identifying strategic paths but also advised their implementation.
